"Can vitamin C be harmful?
Taking too much vitamin C can cause diarrhea, nausea, and stomach cramps. In people with a condition called hemochromatosis, which causes the body to store too much iron, high doses of vitamin C could worsen iron overload and damage body tissues"

At best you were just making your pee more expensive by taking that much vitamin C.
The "some vitamins are good for me, therefore lots of vitamins must be great for me" thought process is insanity. |
Your first question should be, are you experiencing any stomach cramps or diarrhea? Do you have hemochromatosis? How bad is your eczema and how do you manage your auto-immune disease? At what point does it begin to subside or become manageable (10 000mg)?
At best I'm managing a debilitating disease that no doctor could help with unless I bought a $100 steroid ointment. Now those side affects are a real pain in the ass. My skin used to tear like tissue paper.
Thank you for your concern, then your insult, but I'm quite fine and doing better. Now go save the world some place else.
